Abstrakt

Ekoturystyka stanowi główną siłą napędową turystyki na peryferyjnych obszarach wiejskich w kilku krajach afrykańskich, w tym w RPA. Celem tego artykułu jest opisanie wyzwań związanych z planowaniem i realizacją miejskiego projektu ekoturystycznego w RPA, a mianowicie rezerwatu dzikich zwierząt Dinokeng, który znajduje się na granicy jednego z głównych obszarów metropolitalnych RPA i w gospodarczym sercu kraju. Celem projektu było stworzenie nowego produktu niszowego w ramach turystyki miejskiej. Korzystając ze źródeł literaturowych i informacji zebranych podczas 27 częściowo ustrukturyzowanych wywiadów, autorzy analizują kluczowe kroki procesu planowania tego innowacyjnego produktu turystyki miejskiej. Badanie stanowi wkład do rozwijającej się literatury poświęconej turystyce południowoafrykańskiej oraz do międzynarodowej literatury dotyczącej roli produktów niszowych w rozwoju turystyki miejskiej na globalnym Południu.
